Call to undefined function iconv

Hello,

So I can’t seem to add a redirect on my site, I am getting a 500 error which allegedly is a security plugin issue, but that’s not the case. I didn’t even have Wordfence installed. In fact, I disabled all plugins except Redirection and the problem persists.

UI Admin Interface error:

Unexpected token < in JSON at position 0 (SyntaxError)

Console error:

Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 500 ()
redirection.js?ver=4.3.2-0f831a6c0558229b803b83eda31409a3:62 Unexpected token < in JSON at position 0

Server log error:

So it seems the plugin is trying to call a function, namely iconv, that does not exists, which leads me to believe it is not a permissions/security plugin error.

Thanks!
